Medieval 2 family tree
Incest it not always so bad if it means your family can keep going in a regular pattern. There are 3 things you can do with a princess that are worthwhile, Cross your fingers that your princesses have 3 or more charm, if not you may need to try some negotiations to increase their charm if it can be increased that way. Moveable princesses are the most valuable commodity and ones with high charm are priceless. Ok, by now you should either have some princesses either made by your king (if the starting king and queen are young enough) or hopefully some princesses by your prince. Now we have a new prince! basically we go back to the start of this guide, find him a bride and give him a ride!Īgain with the new prince you need to start training him in battles straight away. As you can see most of my kings have died in battle, this is to make way for the new prince. Not only does this have the advantage of not getting incest traits, it also allows you to forge some great alliances and the AI nearly never breaks a marriage alliance, unless its Portugal. As soon as you find a suitable foreign princess ( with 1.2 it is quite easy for the AI to get decent princesses) on the campaign map to marry your new prince to, knock off the old king in the fastest manner possible. Hopefully your prince now has a son and some daughters of his own and are nearly ready to come of age. Otherwise who knows who will become Prince!" IMPORTANT: "It is important that a Princes son comes of age, BEFORE you knock off the current King. By now your prince should be very decent with up to 6-10 command stars, loyalty points, chivalry. These give great command bonuses and make sure that your prince is the one that completes it but bring as many generals as you like with armies of their own (until they surround the city) so they also get traits and bonuses if the target is nearby. Next and if you want a chivalrous prince, Crusades.
make sure they are not too easy and are challenging so he gets some kills in, hopefully he will get a couple of traits out of the battle. Now we need to organise a couple of battles for him.
